For $61 you can get a bearing kit from Steering Column Services that works flawlessly and doesn't have all of the headaches associated with this one...
That kit will work great as a stock replacement. This is an upgraded bearing and provides much tighter, responsive steering than the stock style can by fault of the stock design itself.
definitely not worth the incredible price hike. $100 for this or $27 for a stock replacement and i dont have to deal with Allen head set screws with lock tite which DEFINITELY wont strip out and cause a headache in the future if you need to service the bearing. for $25 extra dollars i got everything to rebuild my column with stock replacement parts.
You can certainly choose to go that route to save a little money. This is worth every penny of the price it costs because it is a superior design. The stock design is flawed and this strengthens the entire steering assembly. The fully encapsulated bearing keeps water and debris out so there won’t be a need to service the bearing whereas the stock bearing design is open to all of that. I have three steering columns with the stock bearing style and they all have the same problem. Regardless, I’m glad you’re working to keep your square on the road and hope you have fun with the rebuild!
@@jebirmann2989 all parts fail. Nothing lasts forever and considering the original bearings are made in usa and still failed……check mate. My point isnt how long they will last. My point is how the design will result in future headaches in the future. Never said they wouldnt last longer than chinese parts.
Installed one on my K5 CUCV as well as the XJ shaft, made a big difference.
I bought one of these for my 1998 C1500. Have the Cunningham Machine upper and lower shafts and a new Borgeson steering gear. That's a great video. 👍
Did you delete the steering wheel sensor?
Thanks for making this video. It’s like Bradley Cooper is telling me how to fix my steering!😂
Maybe it is Bradley Cooper telling you how to fix it…
Ordering one right now !!!
Great job- now come fix my '84 El Camino 🤠
Hey, you saw the video, you’ve got this! Piece of cake 🍰

Of course! This has been a game changer for me

You can buy chinese-made parts that are guaranteed to fail or you can buy USA made parts guaranteed to last.
